Abstract
A unique acid hydrazide, 2-(5-hydrazinocarbonyl-2-oxazolyl)-5,6-dimethoxybenzothiazole, that is characterized by the benzothiazole structure conjugated to an oxazoline moiety was synthesized, and its applicability as a precolumn derivation reagent for carboxylic acids in HPLC was examined in view of sensitivity and separability. The sensitivity of the hydrazide for carboxylic acids was determined using lauric acid to be 0.1 pmol (per 10-μ1 injection volume) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The reagent allowed rapid assays of carboxylic acids within 20 min with satisfactory separability. The method was applied to the determination of fatty acids in human sera from healthy volunteers as well as from patients with diabetes or thyroid dysfunction.
